About this product

Product Information

Celebrated novel involves a handsome young Londoner who sinks into a life of depravity. His body retains perfect youth and vigor while his recent portrait reflects the ravages of his crime and sensuality. In this celebrated work, his only novel, Wilde forged a devastating portrait of the effects of evil and debauchery on a young aesthete in late-19th-century England. Combining elements of the Gothic horror novel and decadent French fiction, the book centers on a striking premise: As Dorian Gray sinks into a life of crime and gross sensuality, his body retains perfect youth and vigor while his recently painted portrait grows day by day into a hideous record of evil, which he must keep hidden from the world. For over a century, this mesmerizing tale of horror and suspense has enjoyed wide popularity. It ranks as one of Wilde's most important creations and among the classic achievements of its kind.

The Picture of Dorian Gray
So my previous experience with Oscar Wilde was "The Importance of Being Earnest" in high school, & I never planned to read anything by Wilde after that. Then I read some of the Dave Sim stuff inspired by Wilde so I thought I'll give it a shot. Dorian Gray is more like Poe or Stevenson than Wilde's plays. So if you are into Poe, you should check this out.

A classic must read!
An excellent read. A classic read about a young man selling his soul for his good looks. As all deals with the devil it does not bring him happiness and it takes him on a horrific journey of finding out who he really is and who he wants to be. A must read.
